A GIGANTIC SCHEME
To Practically Consolidate All the
Cooper Shops in the City.

The plan of uniting all the cooper shops
in the city under one management to sup
ply the mills, which was published in the
GLOBE some time ago, has finally assumed a
tangible shape. the aim is to remove the
cause for competition which has reduced
the profit from barrel making to a mini
mum, and proposition has been made to
the boss or journeymen shops to include
them in the arrangement. The scheme for
this consolidation has been engineered by
the Knights Of Labor, and when perfected
will be in the charge of committee
of the order which will appoint general
manager. A selling price which will afford
the coopers fair profit will be fixed. and
each shop will be allowed fair considera
ton for rental, insurance and running ex-
penses. and the profits will be distributed
pro rata. Not only will this plan prevent
disastrous competition, but it is thought
will compel the mills to pay fair prices.
The barrels Will be marked *. of L.. - and
mills refusing to use them will be boy
cotted by the organized workingmen of the
country, who, it is thought, will endeavor
to assist the coopers when called upon. 1t
is understood that the Hardwood Storage
company, the largest ''boss" shop in the
city, has received the proposition favorably,
and will accept if the other journeymen
shops do the same, while the cooperative
shops are all in favor of it.

what Was Reported an Accidental
Shooting is Now Viewed With
Doubt.
In looking into the facts attending the
death of Clayton NJ. Welch, who is alleged
to have shot himself at his residence, 637
Jewett place, Sunday afternoon, a few
minutes before l o'clock, Coroner Hill yes
terday morning decided that there was
something peculiar in the killing, and de-
termined to hold an inquest to decide
whether the shooting was accidental or in
territorial. The inquest was held yesterday
afternoon, ana facts came to light which
would seem to indicate that the shooting
was Intentional, and even to throw doubt
Oh the statement that he shot himself. MIR.
Welch ana his wife had been out visiting
relative, few minutes before. and on re-
turning he had put on his oyercoat, saying
he was going to st. Paul. His wife was in
the kitchen at the time. and saw him stand
ing in the sitting-room door, after he had
his coat on. with his back toward her. AT
the inquest she testified that with his left
hand he held the lappels or his Overcoat
and coat out from the left side of his body,
and that his right hand was raised to near the
region of his heart. A second later she heard
shot, and at the same time MIR. WEIGH
dropped the revolver and said: 1T did not
hit me. Sarah" He then took step for
ward and sank down at the hall door, with
one ley in the hall and the other in the sit
ting room. The pos: mortem examination
showed that the bullet had entered the sac
containing the heart, and passing through
it, had struck between the eleventh and
twelfth ribs and stopped. The revolver
was held directly against the dead mans
vest when the shot was fired as that gar
ment, his shirt and underShirt were burned
and the flesh surrounding the wound was
blackened and charred. The bullet had
taken slightly upward course and had
carried away a small portion of one lung.
An examination of Mr.. Welch'S coat showed
that it was not burned or blackened in the
least. and that there was no pocket on that
side in which to place the revolver. This
certainly looks peculiar, for even if there
had been pocket there Mr.. Welch would
not have put revolver Tito it muZZle up
and handle down. If it had exploded
while putting it into his pocket in a proper
manner the bullet would have taken a
downward course instead of an upward
one. 1t is also evident that the muzzle
was held directly against the vest when the
shot was fired. How a man could hold a
revolver so that the bullet would make the
wound it did unless he intended to suicide
cannot be determined. Several witnesses
were examined, and the testimony was such
that further investigation was considered
necessary. The inquest will be concluded

MINNEAPOLIS
NAyIGATION AND BRIDGES.


If there is one thing dear to the hearts of
many whose professions OF loyalty to
Minneapolis are more than mere words, it
is the hope of seeing navigation revived and
restored between the Twin Cities. opening
up the means of water communication be
tween ST. Anthony falls and the world at
large. Thirty years ago vessels plying the
waters of the Mississippi discharged their
cargoes at the landings at the Washington
avenue bridge, and it seems incredible that
the trade should ever have been diScon-
tinued and the channel permitted to fill up
The sentiment of the people respecting
lnterurban navigation was expressed in the
resolutions from the waterways convention
nj St. Paul last year, and the machinery
necessary to accomplish the end desired has
since been set in motion. \ preliminary
survey has been made, and Maj. CHARLES
ALLEN has reported TO the secretary of war
his belief that The plan is perfectly feasible.
The point of especial interest at this time
is in relation to the proposed Franklin
avenue bridge, the bonds for which have been
authorized by the legislature. but for which
the principal contracts have not been
awarded. That the bridge is q necessity
and should be built at once have been fully
determined and need no further discussion.
But that the bridge should be so constructed
as not to interfere with navigation is so
patent on its face as to require as little ar
gument. Mai. ALIENS theory is that a
lock and dam at Meeker'S Island will be the
most practicable plan of improving the
channel, in the event of which the water at
the site of the proposed bridge will be so
raised as to make the bridge as now planned,
all absolute impeachment The engineers
plan contemplated certain height above
the water at its usual stage. but did not
take into consideration the water when
raised some twenty feet by the locked dam.
UnqueStionabiy the plans should be changed,
so that the bridge would not inter-
fere with navigation. If the present plans
would result in bridge too low, change
them. If the piers would be too close for
safety in navigation. separate them. Build
the bridge. but build it right. The board
OF trade made itself fit subject for ridicule
when il opposed the building of the bridge;
but its course was cOmmendable when u
recommended such bridge as would offer
no obstruction to the securing of early nav
igation. Such a bridge will cost m.re
money, but the difference is trifling at best
and is mere bagatelle when compared
with the important reasons for the change.

itoba Wants to Purchase the Min
neapOlis & Pacific.
Grain men in Minneapolis are anXiously
watching the course of the three roads
the Manitoba. Minneapolis & Pacific and
Northern Pacific-which almost parallel
each other from here into Dakota. The
announcement was made yesterday that
the Fargo Southern Elevator company is
preparing to move from the Milwaukee to
the Minneapolis & Pacific road. step into
which it is forced by the difference in rates.
1t costs cents more to ship to Minneapolis
by the Milwaukee, than by the Minneapolis
d Pacific, and the result was that the latter
got everything and other roads were left
high and dry. except where rates had been
arranged on differentiated basis. 1t will
be remembered that few months
ago, when the Manitoba and North
ern Pacific cut their Duluth rate
to the same as Minneapolis, the Minneapo-
lis 81 Pacific followed with Scent reduc-
ton to Minneapolis and with the advantage
of higher market, Minneapolis got all the
wheat and the Minneapolis & Pacific hauled
1t. Since then the three roads arranged
rate card on basis of the differential de-
manded by the Minneapolis & Pacific, and
now rates agree, except from few points.
The position occupied by the Minneapo-
lis & Pacific with relation to the other two
has been matter of considerable discussion
about the chamber and when a rumor
gained credence that the Manitoba was try
ing to buy the Minneapolis Il Pacific it
Occasioned no surprise.
Nothing could be learned of such
proposition at railroad headquarters and if
there is anything in it, the scheme has not
sufficiently advanced to be made public
General Superintendent f. D. Under
wood. OF the Minneapolis Sc Pacific. when
seen last night admitted the general prev
alence of the rumor concerning the nego-
tiations, but denied that there was any
truth in it.

Further Discussion of the Eight
Hour Resolution Thursdays
Work.
The special council committee, consisting
Of an alderman from each ward. met yes
terday morning to consider Aid. Gibson's
motion to make eight hours the stand
ard days work for men employed on the
public works. The discussion was much in
the same vein as that which greeted the
resolution upon its introduction in the
council. Aid. Clark was opposed to short
enlng the hours of labor, apparently for the
reason that he has been compelled to work
from ten to fourteen hours daily. He did
not think that it was the taxpayers who
want the hours reduced. Aid. McArdle said
that eight hours would constitute DAYS
work throughout the United States in the
near future, and that Minneapolis might as
well take step in the right direction now
as to wait and follow other cities, Aid.
Stoft thought that if men were to receive
ten hours pay for eight hours work that
teams must be paid in proportion. Aid.
Cloutier said in regard to this that teams
tiers should not be compelled to take less
than $50, the present pay, which is little
enough. Aids. Oswald and Kerr declared
